I don't believe this is correct. The Monit binary link _dynamic_ with systems
libraries only [1]. That is: you should be able to use the same monit binary on
all 4.x versions from at least 4.7 without having to rebuild or install older
libraries. If you have prof that there is a library version problem we would be
very interested to know about this.
[1] OpenSSL is static linked into the Monit binary to avoid depending on a
certain OpenSSL version or that OpenSSL is installed on the system.
